    • Diocese of Subotica
    • Diocese of Zrenjanin

In addition, the Apostolic Exarchate of Serbia and Montenegro was established in 2002 for Eastern Catholic Christians of the Byzantine Rite.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.
    Flora Tristan (1803–1844)

    Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.
    —Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
